In this case, xdm has been broken for more than a year because it has |

been ignoring pambase by not using system-local-login. |

Only the problem came to light after ConsoleKit really started to |
| 13 |
require this functionality from pambase. |

But it was still tested, unfortunately the test environment that was |
| 18 |

this was catched too late. |
